Edie sweet
Flossie ok as long as it has a fn
Jolie I like (but not the actress)
Jacobi - as in the actor? Jacob good.
Mckenzie - has dwnmrket assoc locally although good enough for billionaire JKR
Enzo, yes if have Italian roots
Benaii/Sydney - mixed opinions
No to Onaissis (fat-looking magnate), Fabrizia(sounds like something in my cleaning cupboard) & Ylennia (irrational dislike of Y names, except Yogi Bear)

Onassis - don't like this; what are its origins?
Enzo - fine if Italian (?) but not otherwise
Caspian - not for me
Ylennia - how do you pronouce it? Don't like it
Edie - short for Edith, which I do quite like
Flossie - quite pretty; short for Florence I think which I also quite like
Jolie - after Angelina
Jacobi - what is wrong with just Jacob, which is a perfectly nice real name after all
Mckenzie - this is a surname, not a first name IMO
Benaii - def not for me
Cydnie/Sydney - certainly don't like the spellings; Sidney is OK I guess for a boy but not my choice
Fabrizia - not for me; reminds me of Fabreeze clothes spray thing!

Um ok, ben-ay was because her parents liked the sound of jonbenet's name but not its connotations and ylennia was pronounced yuh-len-nia but that might just be one set of parents interpretation iykwim! Getting some interesting responses LOL gotta agree with most of you, there's a few in there I quite like but I think a couple are goddamn awful

it always surprises me that people are so quick to use the term chavvy when it's about unusual names...now, made up names...I can understand, but names like Enzo, Ylennia, etc...are quite obviously names from different cultures, mainly used by people from that culture...so hardly chavvy....grrrrrrrr....really winds me up this whole chavvy judgemental thing that people have going on...
deep breath
and off my soapbox, lol
